Being healthy... is it that hard?
Today for dinner we had some breaded tilapia fillets (from the freezer), steamed veggies, strawberries and blackberries, and homemade mashed potatoes for dinner, and I had some leftover salad from last night. For lunch, I had a loaded baked potato (I SAID IT!) - butter, cheese, bacon bits, broccoli - and a salad with spinach, strawberries and blackberries (can you tell Mom is trying to get rid of them?), and olive oil and vinegar dressing which I made myself. For breakfast, I had Frosted Flakes with strawberries. Brian bought me a chocolate shake at Dairy Queen, and I also had some cheese-its for a snack.Bam-a-lam.
And after dinner, I convinced mom to walk around the block with me. She thought I just wanted to go down the short part of the street and back, but we walked all the way to one end, down the hill to the other end, and back up the hill to the house. Hopefully I can convince her to go walking with me more often, but I think I could do it by myself too. Also, she said she'd go walking with me at the park in the evenings if I wanted to!
I didn't even think "HEY I'm cutting calories!" or "I need to eat less food" or any such thoughts. I just did it. I guess it's not necessarily easy v. difficult, it's plausible v. implausible. Being a college kid with a part time job leans more toward the "implausible" side... but I'll try to do better while I live with my parents and can convince SOMEONE to buy healthier foods for me. I know I have to do the hard work, though!
